this should be called the low rider helmet, it comes down to abot your eyebrows...im not compalaining tho, cuz that makes it fit good with lots of gogs. its incredibly light, of course. its a really huge helmet, the total opposite of low profile, which is fine, it bobs ur head around a little bit...the removable liner makes layering a beanie and gogs uderneath really easy, but its really warm withought a beanie. it looks great too, a little on the skiier side if you ask me but i love the look. fit awesome with large goggles with flat tops (vonzipper feenoms, smith prodigys, oakley crowbar, those are the specific ones i have tried with it and they all fit awesome)...but this does not work with small goggle with round tops!!!!! i cant wear my a frames with this at all, its a brutally bad fit, i dont care if thats what shawn white uses, it dont work im tellin ya!...besides that it perfect, strike that, its just perfect :-)

R.e.d. helmets are already by far my favorite, after trying on tons of different ones I went with a R.e.d. trace a few years back, but it was big and bulky and win i saw this hi-fi deal i snatched it up real quick. It fits so nice and looks great, especially since I'm rocking some anon goggles they fit together perfectly. If you want good looking gear to keep you safe thats not heavy or annoying go with a r.e.d. hi-fi.

I just purchased this years hi fi and would like to outline the differences between this Hi-Fi II and previous years, I still love it and all the praise from my last review still applies

differences; Quick Clip II earpads have been updated, now are much easier to remove, mush much easier. Brow of helmet does not come down so far, which makes it compatible with more, larger goggles. Fit is about a half size smaller, so if you are in between sizes or like to wear a beanie under, or like to put your goggle strap underneath the helmet, the order a size up! also the fit is narrower. besides that they weight the same and A frames still dont fit:-)

I have been riding the Hi Fi helmet for 3 seasons now. I was hesitant to wear a helmet at first but now I feel naked without one. This helmet is supe light and I really don't even notice it's on. It has plenty of venting. In fact I am bald and I usually need a skullcap under my helmet on colder days cause it gets a little breezy. So those of you with hair should be just fine. My hat size is 7 1/4 and I wear a large in the Hi Fi. It fits perfectly. The detatchable ear covers are a must on warm spring days. This is a great feature. I would reccomend this to anyone. I am giving it only 4 stars though due to it being a bit high profile. It sticks up a bit making me feel somewhat like an astrounaut.

This year R.E.D decided to change the mold of the helmet, making the fit for me somewhat strange. I personally liked the Hi-Fi I better than the Hi-Fi II but they did add features to teh Hi-Fi II That the I did not have.

A lot of people were ripping the ears out of the Hi-Fi I so they made the ears removable. Overall the features they added make up for the Mold change but make sure this thing fits before heading out!

Either way it will protect your goods.

This is my first helmet and I have to say that I very satisfied with it. Its light, comfortable and offers the ability to up upgrade to the high-fi stereo ear pads.

- Good Helmet for the price
